You were ready to drop LinkedIn gold. A post that’d make people pause, comment, and maybe even shoot you a DM.

But then, like Joe Pesci’s gold tooth in Home Alone, someone else’s post caught your eye.

A carousel so beautiful it could live at the Met.

A post so perfectly formatted you question if a human made it.

And now?

You’re on TikTok, watching a guy prepare tacos on a tree stump next to a babbling brook.

Sound familiar?

Listen, we’ve all been there before, myself included.

Falling into the comparison/perfection trap is easy.

But, it’s all an illusion.

Here’s the thing: most of those “perfect” posts? They almost didn’t happen, either.

The only difference?

They hit “Post.”

I’m not here to motivate you, but to remind you,

If you want to stay relevant, you have to show up.

Not perfectly. Consistently.
